Therefore possessing this filthy weapon, which would allow the execution of such operations, had been forbidden. The submarine had been cursed, considered unethical, perfidious, and – simultaneously – been the subject of great interest. There was another reason for this hostility, however. Thanks to its low price the submarine could easily become a common weapon, an ideal instrument for the world’s less powerful navies. Until submarines had appeared the might of a navy had been decided by its number of huge armoured warships, armed with large-calibre guns, powerful enough to crush any enemy who came into range, except of course for ships of the same type. Therefore, the power of a navy had been measured in the number and calibre of guns and the thickness of side armour mounted on large and expensive battleships. Only rich countries could afford to build and operate such warships, which in turn could defend overseas possessions, thus earning a profit for the parent state and dictating the rules to the rest of the world. The small submarine could ruin this status quo. It could punch a hole in the soft underbelly of the giant with its torpedoes and sink the enemy in spite of his heavy guns. Thus the new weapon could even the odds in a confrontation between a theoretically weaker navy and a stronger enemy fleet. It could also cut off the supply routes of world powers, threaten their possessions, weaken them, and – provided adequate strategy was applied – defeat them – all at a relatively small cost.
